Looks right. With NAT and firewalling, a 4501 will get you around 10-15 Mb depending on OS, packet filter and NAT used, and configuration. 4801 will get you more like 30 Mb. I don't have a 5501 to test, but supposedly they can do at or near 100 Mb wire speed, from what I've heard. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
